This restaurant is in a nondescript part of the city, but it shines in quality and appearance once inside. My wife and I shared a Insalate Mista (romaine and gorganzola) and a pizza with prosciutto, artichoke, mushrooms, and olives. The crust is thin and the sauce and cheese perfect. There are many interesting salad and pizza choices, in addition to... more

Delish!

We had dinner at one of their outside tables on a warm evening last week while visiting Pittsburgh. We chose this restaurant after reading the reviews.

At lunch a couple of days ago four of us had really good meals however, my water glass had lipstick stains on it (I don't wear lipstick) and my fork was dirty. I would be concerned about the lack of attention to detail to things non- food. more

I've only been to this restaurant once, but it was excellent! Very authentic Italian food, and just delicious. The restaurant is a little loud, due to the exposed brick walls and wood floors, but everything else was great! Wish I lived closer so I could try more things on the menu!! more

Awesome!

A group of ten of us went there and it was a great time. The food is original and very tasty and the waitress we had seemed to manage a table of ten pretty well. It is, also, unbelievably inexpensive. We had numerous appetizers and each one of us had a meal or pizza and still was only $60 a... more
